Chapter 1394 - 1393: Worry

"Let me go!"

At the very moment Lu Yu was being 'knocked out' by the Controller, in a rather secret underground facility in London, Leng Qingqiu was sitting on a luxurious armchair, when she suddenly spoke: "I'm going to find Lu Yu!"

Just now, at the most critical moment, Lu Yu had endured that enormous sucking force and thrown her into the Hummer so she could escape danger smoothly. Now that Leng Qingqiu was in a safe environment, the very first thing she thought of was whether Lu Yu was safe or not.

"Madam."

Looking at Leng Qingqiu in front of him, Burn, the person in charge of the London branch of the Assassin Alliance, stepped forward. He looked at her and said, "My lord is resourceful and formidable in battle. I believe he definitely won't come to much harm."

As he spoke, Burn addressed Leng Qingqiu with utmost respect, his tone low, carrying a trace of humility.

"Since you call Lu Yu 'my lord', then why don't you go back and rescue him?"

Hearing what Burn said, Leng Qingqiu spoke up: "You all saw what just happened. Every one of those people possessed superpowers. Lu Yu facing them alone—doesn't that mean he's in extreme danger!?"

The current Leng Qingqiu was completely different from her previously calm self. She stared at Burn, her eyes full of urgency, every word radiating intense anxiety.

Clearly, Leng Qingqiu cared deeply about Lu Yu's safety right now. Every word she uttered was charged with agitation; she was itching to rush back herself to see if Lu Yu was all right.

"Madam, my lord has been through a hundred battles, faced life-and-death campaigns countless times, and he has always come out unscathed. I believe this time will be no different—he'll return safely just like before!"

As he spoke, Burn's expression was grave. While he talked, a faint humility seeped into his respectful tone: "Besides, as one of the organization's indispensable top figures, we're also very worried about his safety."

"You believe? And what are you basing that belief on?"

Hearing Burn's words, Leng Qingqiu said, "If this were a normal battle, I really wouldn't be worried. After all, Lu Yu's strength is right there—ordinary people are no match for him."

"But this time, he's up against Superpower Users, people who can destroy multiple sports cars with a mere flick of their wrists. And there's more than one of them. Under these circumstances, you tell me—how am I supposed to believe?"

As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu's voice became hysterical, laced with fury: "Are you going or not?"

Her voice was low and heavy, carrying the weight of an accusation.

"I'm sorry, Madam."

"My lord instructed us beforehand that we must ensure your safety this time. So we have to put your protection first." As he spoke, Burn's voice was thick and grave; even in his respect, there was a somber undertone: "We cannot go against my lord's orders!"

Burn wasn't unwilling to turn back and support Lu Yu; it was because Lu Yu had explicitly ordered him that no matter what happened, Burn was not allowed to go back for him. For Lu Yu, protecting Leng Qingqiu's safety was the most important thing!

"If you won't go, then I will!"

Hearing Burn and the others' reply, Leng Qingqiu spoke, and at the same time she suddenly stood up, intending to head straight outside.

"Madam, please don't make things difficult for us!"

Seeing her rise, Burn and the others immediately stood up as well. Each of them was like a human tower blocking her path, their voices filled with respect.

"Move aside!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words echoing in her mind, Leng Qingqiu spoke, staring at Burn and the others, every word thick with anger.

At her words, everyone present fell silent. They simply stood there in front of her, neither speaking nor taking a stance, appearing extremely humble and deferential.

"You…"

Seeing what Burn and the others were doing, Leng Qingqiu was furious. She was just about to say something more when, at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"What's this? Things have barely even started, and you already can't sit still?"

The voice was deep and steady, giving off a sense of unshakable solidity: "You should know, the things Lu Yu has gone through are far more brutal than this."

As he spoke, the door to the room swung open, and Belmont III stepped in slowly. His stride was firm, powerful, carrying an aura as steady as a mountain.

Seeing Belmont III, Leng Qingqiu was taken aback for a moment, then a look of shock appeared on her face. She had never expected Lu Yu's teacher, Belmont III, to appear here!

She had seen Belmont III once before in Lin'an City, so she recognized him instantly.

"Leader!"

When Belmont III appeared, Burn and the others immediately spoke up respectfully. Their voices were low, brimming with deference.

"Mm."

Hearing Burn and the others, Belmont III waved his hand, then shifted his gaze to Leng Qingqiu and said, "What's wrong? Still worried about Lu Yu?"

"Lu Yu is facing those Superpower People alone. I can't relax…"

Looking at Belmont III, Leng Qingqiu spoke, her voice low, tinged with a subtle heaviness. For some reason, whenever she saw Belmont III, she subconsciously treated him like an elder.

"You don't need to be like this."

Hearing her words, Belmont III said, "Lu Yu never acts without planning a retreat. You really don't need to worry about his safety. In such a brutal environment, he knows better than anyone how to protect himself."

"Besides, haven't you realized that this time he deliberately made sure you left first?"

As he spoke, there was a hint of amusement in Belmont III's tone. His voice was low, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

"Deliberately made me leave first?"

Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's body trembled. The way she looked at Belmont III was filled with shock. Clearly, she was utterly surprised and astonished by what he had just said!

Right now, Leng Qingqiu couldn't understand why Lu Yu would insist on getting her out first, or what his true purpose was in doing so!
